Lions Play
'Best Game'
To Win Fourth
By ERNIE MOORE
It was a long time coming. It
took seven games, but today
Penn State football fans are look
ing forward to the Rutgeis game
next Saturday and especially , to
the Pitt game Nov 24 with anti
cipation and a newly found con
ficlence. ,
And they have good reason.
Up until last Saturday, the Nit
tany Lions' staunchest rooters
kept their hopes alive by saying
over and over again, "Penn State
hasn't played its best game yet."
At Beaver Field Saturday
15,000 spectators "had to agree
that the Lions were at their best
as they watched Coach Rip En
gle's squad roll to a surpris
ingly easy win over Syracuse,
32-13.
Frosh Look Good
Engle poured 48 men into the
contest, including ten freshmen,
as the Lions rolled to their fourth
victory of the season in their
last home encounter.
State fans got a good look at
what•the future holds for the Nit
tany Lion football team as they
saw five freshmen start the con
test and hold their own against
ta better - than-average Syracuse
team. The \running. of freshmen
halfbacks Buddy Rowell and Al
ton Frey, running and fine line
play by guard Don Shank and
ends Jesse Arnelle and Bill Gar
rity have Lion fans looking •to
the future through rose colored
glasses.
Szajna 'On'
The victory, however, was a
team victory as the Lions showed
more drive and spirit than they
have all year. Led by fullback
Paul Anders, halfbacks Bob Pol
lard, Rowell, and Ted Shattuck,
the Lions ran up 311 yards along
the ground to only 130 by the
Syracuse backs.
Bob Szajna, playing almost the
entire game at quarterback, hit
on seven of -12 passes, while Tony
Rados completed one of 3 to give
State 131 yards through the air
and a total of 422 yards gained.
Szajna called a good game and
his passes to soph Don Malinak
over the middle kept State's at
tack moving when it looked as
if it might bog down on third or
fourth down.
Guard Pete Schoderbek suf
fered the only serious injury in
the game. Schoderbek received
a badly bruised wrist which will
keep him out of the Rutgers con
test and possibly the Pitt game.
The Lions took command early
in the first quarter, the second
time they got their hands on the
ball. It took just 11 plays for
the State gridders to push the
ball into the end zone.
With Rowell and Anders doing
most of the carrying the Lions
marched 91 yards to , the Syra
cuse goal with Pollard scoring
from the 13 on an off tackle play.
Bill Leonard's kick was good and
State led, 7-0.
The next time they got their
hands on th e ball, the Lioni
moved from their .own 12 to the
Syracuse 19 before the drive
bogged down. Leonard's field
goal try on fourth down was
short and to the right.
Lions Bounce Back
Syracuse tied if up in the sec
ond quarter after Avatus Stone
intercepted a Szajna pass on his
own 48. In 14 plays the Orange
men scored, with fullback John
Donati going over from the six.
Bob Koleser converted to tie the
score at 7-7.
State wasted no time in grab
bing back the lead. Ted Shattuck
took the return kickoff on the
eight and ran it back to the
Lion 39. On the first play, Shat
tuck broke through the line and
went all the way to the Syracuse
29 yard line. Seven plays later,
Anders bulled over from the two.
Leonard's try for the extra point
was blocked.
Arnelle Intercepts
Early in the second half, State
took possession on its own 13
and marched the rest of the way
•in 11 plays for its third score.
A Szajna to Rowell pass good for
23 yards set up another TD for

Pinezich Sets Pace
footers Beat N. C.,
Jack Pinezich, a big, burly freshman from Brooklyn, returned
to the starting lineup and sparked the Nittany Lion soccer team to a
one-sided win over North Carolina on the baseball field Saturday
morning
Coach Bill Jeffrey opened • wth Pinezich at left wing and the
move paid immediate dividends as State looked like a first-class
team for the first time this sea
son
Pinezich, along with Captain
Ron Coleman, Ellis Kocher, and
Bill Norcik, played brilliant ball
up in the front line and as a
result State was in Carolina's ter
ritory all day. This may be veril
fied by the fact that the Lions
had 62 shots during the game
while the Tarheels could come
up with but seven.
Halfback Trio
Penn State's razor-sharp pass
ing an d all-around aggressive
play left the Tarheels listless.
The Tarheels used five men play
ing back and this proveu disas
trous to Jeffrey's halfback trio
of Frank Follmer, Jack Charlton,
and Kurt Klaus roamed just
about as they pleased.
The win for the Lions set their
record at 4-1-1 while the defeat
for the Southerners made their
record 4-2.
Coleman Scores Three
Coleman, who tallied three
goals to raise his total to seven,
scored the fir s t Lion tally at
11:42, in the first period on a
penalty kick. The NC goalie,
Reynolds Randolph, blocked the
ball, but Coleman's kick had so
much steam behind it that it
popped from Randolph's arms.
It became 3-0 at half on second
period goals by Pinezich, the
first of his two, and Shirk. Pine
zich's came at 9:06 on a re
bound of Follmer's shot. Shirk's
came with just 28 seconds before
the half; •
Pinezich and Coleman upped
State's margin to 5-0 at three
quarter mark.
